Cosmos: A Space. Time Odyssey Review. The atheistic, evolutionary Cosmos TV series hosted by Neil de. Grasse Tyson recently concluded its 1. As our reviews (see below) are spreading around the world, the secularists are continuing to provide written critiques full of straw- man arguments, ad hominem attacks, and so on. It seems they cannot stand the fact that we would even dare to question and expose their biased- filled conclusions for what they are.

Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - Episode 6.

A Spacetime Odyssey, episode 1. The Electric Boy. This episode focuses on the discovery of electromagnetism, specifically through the work of Michael Faraday (1. Raised as a devoutly religious Christian, his faith was always a source of strength for him.

He grew up poor and had no real education to speak of, but instead worked as a bookbinder. After attending a scientific presentation, he grew fascinated, and took it upon himself to create a transcript of the demonstration, bind it, and present it to the scientist Humphrey Davy (1. When Davy was blinded during a chemical. It was, in fact, the very first electric motor! Jealous of the attention that Faraday was getting among the scientific community, Davy assigned Faraday the task of trying to improve optical glass by reverse engineering the production methods used by the Bavarians. He attempted an experiment to prove this, by using the fields to get polarized light to travel through a substance.

All efforts failed .. The glass brick allowed light to pass when placed within an electric field .. For the first time, a scientist had shown that electromagnetic energy could manipulate the motion of light, which laid the groundwork for Einstein's insights in the following century! At age 6. 0, when Faraday's physical and mental health was in decline, he went even further, conducting research with iron filings to show that the magnets were connected by invisible lines of force. We now know that these lines of force from the Earth's magnetic field itself are part of what is used by birds to guide their migratory journeys.

Unfortunately, Faraday was a brilliant experimental physicist, but his lack of education meant that he could not handle the mathematics necessary to transform his insights into the mathematical language of modern physics (of the day). However, theoretical physicist James Clerk Maxwell came along and, realizing that Faraday's insights were crucial, gave them a firm theoretical and mathematical foundation. The resulting set of equations became known as Maxwell's equations and are the foundation of the modern, classical understanding of electrodynamics.

Here is a key insight: Within the mathematical equations that Maxwell developed, he discovered that the equations were not static, as Faraday's experiments had predicted, but rather that they were dynamic, able to change and react in time. It was through the mathematical formulation of Faraday's fields that the foundation for our modern electromagnetic communications - including the recording and broadcast of Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey - . It is 4. 0 minutes long. The episode is available (as of the time of this writing) on the Cosmos website and through the streaming service Hulu.
